  • how long have you had that pc and what do you say about it so far? any problems?

  • @CasualGamerDK This PC is amazingly fast! Boots up programs in seconds, and handles games very well. My only issue seems to be the motherboard. I went with a fairly average one and I think the one I got was faulty cause I get Blue Screens a LOT, which is fairly annoying. Not to mention ASUS has horrid customer service and haven't sent me a replacement yet. If not for the motherboard, I would be totally satisfied with this computer.

  • I have a question though... will/can it run BF3 on Ultra?

  • @CasualGamerDK I don't know about BF3 since I don't have it. But it handles Skyrim on Ultra fairly well =)

  • Would've been better off with the Intel Core I7 2600k 2nd gen (4 Cores). As it tops AMD's fx-8150 processor (8 Cores).

  • @MrArmystrong1992 But then you're spending WAY more money on your computer, which sucks if you're on a budget. That processor is twice the price of the one we're using; not to mention switching to an Intel-based motherboard, graphics card, etc. So you're basically spending an extra $300+ on a computer that may not really be that much better... Sorry, but I'll stick with AMD.

  • @BaLLeRAl05 It's a beastly computer for only $800 total... This computer handles Skyrim at Ultra High with reflections no problem. ANYONE can build an insane computer by dropping 500-600 dollars on the graphics card alone. Lol we built this and went "All Out" by what most people can afford. Why would we make a series with a computer no one can relate to?

see all

  • god damnit.... that graphics card is so cheap but i dont think newegg ships to denmark, europe. those in europe sells for 130$...

  • Should've went with a 6970 at the least. But whatever it's your computer.

  • No I wasn't saying anything bad about AMD I was just stating that it helps with rendering anything like Music Videos and such. I have nothing against AMD whatsoever. And yeah definitively a bank breaker that's for sure.

  • @APEffects That's another series that I need to work on... When ordering parts you just need to check that certain things match up. Too much to explain in one comment =/
